What are USB Type-C to 3.5mm\XLR\dual RCA\dual JACK audio cable with Built-in DAC？

These are active digital audio adapter cables integrated with a built-in DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter). They connect modern USB Type-C-only devices (smartphones, laptops, tablets) to traditional analog audio gear via classic audio ports (3.5mm, XLR, 6.35mm JACK, RCA).
Since most new USB Type-C devices remove the legacy 3.5mm headphone jack and transmit audio in pure digital form, passive cables cannot work. The onboard DAC converts digital audio signals (binary 0s and 1s) from USB Type-C devices into analog audio signals, enabling sound output, microphone input, and audio connection to wired headphones, professional stage/studio equipment, vintage audio systems, amplifiers and speakers.

Understanding USB Type-C:
USB Type-C is the reversible USB connector that started appearing in devices since the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF) finalized its specifications in 2014. USB-C has increased in popularity over the years, and most modern smartphones, laptops, and tablets have a USB-C port. USB Type-C is designed to make life easier for users (they only have to worry about one type of cable and port) and make production easier for manufacturers (as they don’t have to support so many different connectors). Replaces the traditional dedicated 3.5mm analog audio jack

Understanding DAC(Digital to Analog Converter):
This is a critical component that converts the digital audio signal (stored in 1s and 0s) into an analog audio signal that speakers or headphones can reproduce. Most USB-C audio headphones come equipped with their DAC. High-quality built-in DACs support HD audio, noise reduction, and stable specifications (e.g., 16bit/48kHz/96dB) for lossless sound.

USB Type-C to 3.5mm Audio Adapter with DAC:
The USB Type-C to 3.5mm Headphone Jack Adapter lets you connect devices that use a standard 3.5mm audio plug – like headphones or speakers – to your USB-C devices Works with all devices. It Feature an advanced DAC Smart Chip, this USB C to headphone adapter delivers high-definition audio and powerful noise reduction for a superior listening experience. this USB Type-C to 3.5 mm AUX adapter allows you to connect your USB C devices without audio jacks to headphones, headsets, speakers, and other audio devices. Enjoy music, answer calls, and control functions like microphone, volume, pause, and play with ease.

USB Type-C Audio was created to standardize audio output using USB Type-C. This would allow the USB port to serve as a replacement for the 3.5mm audio jack, and device manufacturers would be able to send and receive power, transfer file data, output video, and output audio, all using one single port. According to USB-IF, this would allow thinner, longer-lasting, and potentially waterproof devices.

Although it serves the same purpose, USB-C audio works differently from a headphone jack. A 3.5mm headphone jack outputs only analog audio, with the processing achieved using a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) housed within the smartphone. USB Type-C will transmit digital audio instead, leaving it up to your headphones or other listening device to convert this data and amplify the sound. USB-C can also send analog audio output like the headphone jack, as long as it is implemented in the port and your phone has a DAC for wired audio.
